Sarah Fuller @ Vandy

[BamaProud]

This just gets more bizarre. She was named SEC co-special teams player of the week for kicking a 2nd half kickoff that gave the opposing team great field position. A simple kick into the endzone would have given them 10 yards worse field position. Missouri kicked a field Goal 10 plays later.

Fuller named SEC Special Teams Player of Week

Vanderbilt kicker Sarah Fuller was named an SEC Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday after becoming the first woman to participate in a Power 5 football game over the weekend.

She also apparently addressed the team at half time(before ever even playing).

edit...By the way I am not criticizing Sarah....but this whole story seems contrived.

Really? Coaches were reluctant to talk to their players?
"I had coaches come up to me and say 'I've been wanting to say that for awhile now,'" the athlete claimed.

Always have to have a backup to the last option. I applaud Vandy for the effort. Coaches are destined for failure in certain school's sports programs though.

That is part of what makes the story seem contrived. She wasn't their last option. A punter uas used in the game 7 times. Surely he could have kicked the football more than 30 yards.

I mean its Vandy... They only had to kick off once in the whole game

Just seen a report that "she will kick again vs Georgia" on bleacher report

It would be interesting to know what accommodations she's been given in the locker rooms.

Okay, this is just getting ridiculous now.

Fuller Nominated for Courage Award

 

[BamaProud]

Its beyond ridiculous. It's shameful. Girls can and should be able to accomplish things based on merit not contrived hype.

Diversity instead of excellence will destroy this country.

Over the last few days, message boards across the SEC had been littered with rumblings of Vanderbilt players opting out of the season finale Saturday at Georgia, but it was typical

Agreed but if the team has someone available then what's the point in bringing her in?

 

[BamaProud]

There was no need for her to kick. Its all a contrived story.

 

[LanceS4803]

She got savaged after retweeting a short video of her supposedly kicking a near full field soccer kick during a game with TN. Someone else posted a different angle and it showed she was at the circle, almost mid field, and it was about a 50-55 yard kick. No where near 100+ yards.
It WAS accurately placed to one of her teammates, and Vandy did score.

 

[BMan]

She can kick a soccer ball 60 yards.

And a football a whopping 27 yards. What a farce.

 

[BMan]

Always have to have a backup to the last option. I applaud Vandy for the effort. Coaches are destined for failure in certain school's sports programs though.

I condemn them for the effort to debase their team further.

 

[Rakkin6]

Can't wait for her to get blown up by a 225 lb dude.

 

[BMan]

Agreed but if the team has someone available then what's the point in bringing her in?

To try to distract from the fact your team stinks, and is being blown out consistently.

vandy is trying to spin it, but in the light of multiple reports such as the one above, it's pretty obvious the other players don't want to be used as props in a virtue-signaling dog and pony show:
